Much of the logic from Compilation.create() is extracted into
Compilation.Config.resolve() which accepts many optional settings and
produces concrete settings. This separate step is needed by API users of
Compilation so that they can pass the resolved global settings to the
Module creation function, which itself needs to resolve per-Module
settings.
Since the target and other things are no longer global settings, I did
not want them stored in link.File (in the `options` field). That options
field was already a kludge; those options should be resolved into
concrete settings. This commit also starts to work on that, deleting
link.Options, moving the fields into Compilation and
ObjectFormat-specific structs instead. Some fields were ephemeral and
should not have been stored at all, such as symbol_size_hint.
The link.File object of Compilation is now a `?*link.File` and `null`
when -fno-emit-bin is passed. It is now arena-allocated along with
Compilation itself, avoiding some messy cleanup code that was there
before.
On the command line, it is now possible to configure the standard
library itself by using `--mod std` just like any other module. This
meant that the CLI needed to create the standard library module rather
than having Compilation create it.
There are a lot of changes in this commit and it's still not done. I
didn't realize how quickly this changeset was going to balloon out of
control, and there are still many lines that need to be changed before
it even compiles successfully.
* introduce std.Build.Cache.HashHelper.oneShot
* add error_tracing to std.Build.Module
* extract build.zig file generation into src/Builtin.zig
* each CSourceFile and RcSourceFile now has a Module owner, which
determines some of the C compiler flags.
For computing the zig version number, pass --abbrev=9 rather than
requiring the user to set their git configuration in order to make zig
versions match the standard.
* move std.atomic.Atomic to std.atomic.Value
* fix incorrect argument order passed to testing.expectEqual
* make the functions be a thin wrapper over the atomic builtins and
stick to the naming conventions.
* remove pointless functions loadUnchecked and storeUnchecked. Instead,
name the field `raw` instead of `value` (which is redundant with the
type name).
* simplify the tests by not passing every possible combination. Many
cases were iterating over every possible combinations but then not
even using the for loop element value!
* remove the redundant compile errors which are already implemented by
the language itself.
* remove dead x86 inline assembly. this should be implemented in the
language if at all.
This was originally supposed to be a lock-free queue, but I gave up on
that and made it be a thread-safe queue instead.
Putting the mutex directly inside the queue data structure makes it
non-composeable. Instead, the recommendation is to use a normal queue
protected by an external mutex.
This was originally supposed to be a lock-free stack, but I gave up on
that and made it be a thread-safe stack which is implemented poorly
using spin locks. Nobody should use this data structure.
The alternative is a normal stack protected by a mutex.
In general, I don't like the idea of std.meta.trait, and so I am
providing some guidance by deleting the entire namespace from the
standard library and compiler codebase.
My main criticism is that it's overcomplicated machinery that bloats
compile times and is ultimately unnecessary given the existence of Zig's
strong type system and reference traces.
Users who want this can create a third party package that provides this
functionality.

* atom names - are stored locally and pulled from defining object's
strtab
* local symbols - same
* global symbols - in principle, we could store them locally, but
for better debugging experience - when things go wrong - we
store the offsets in a global strtab used by the symbol resolver
Organize everything around a Fetch task which does a bunch of stuff in a
worker thread without touching any shared state, and then queues up
Fetch tasks for its dependencies.
This isn't the theoretical optimal package fetching performance because
CPU cores don't necessarily map 1:1 with I/O tasks, and each fetch task
contains a mixture of computations and I/O. However, it is expected for
this to significantly outperform master branch, which fetches everything
recursively with only one thread.
The logic is now a lot more linear and easy to follow. Everything that
is embarassingly parallel is done on the thread pool, and then after
everything is fetched, the worker threads are joined and the main thread
does the finishing touches of stitching together the dependencies.zig
import files. There is only one tiny little critical section and it does
not even have any error handling in it.
This also lays the groundwork for #14281 because in system mode, all
this fetching logic will be skipped, but the "finishing touches"
mentioned above still need to be done. With this branch, that logic is
separated out and no longer recursively tangled with fetching stuff.
Additionally, this branch:
* Implements inclusion directives in `build.zig.zon` for deciding which
files belong the package (#14311).
* Adds basic documentation for `build.zig.zon` files.
* Adds support for fetching dependencies with the `file://` protocol
scheme (#17364).
* Adds a workaround for a Linux/btrfs file system bug (#17282).
This commit is a work-in-progress. Still todo:
1. Hook up the CLI to the new system.
2. Restore the module table creation logic after all the fetching is
done.
3. Fix compilation errors, get the tests passing, and regression test
against real world projects.
The idea here is to avoid code bloat by having only one actual io.Reader
implementation, which is type erased, and then implement a GenericReader
that preserves type information on top of that as thin glue code.
The strategy here is for that glue code to `@errSetCast` the result of
the type-erased reader functions, however, while trying to do that I
ran into #17343.
- Adds `illumos` to the `Target.Os.Tag` enum. A new function,
`isSolarish` has been added that returns true if the tag is either
Solaris or Illumos. This matches the naming convention found in Rust's
`libc` crate[1].
- Add the tag wherever `.solaris` is being checked against.
- Check for the C pre-processor macro `__illumos__` in CMake to set the
proper target tuple. Illumos distros patch their compilers to have
this in the "built-in" set (verified with `echo | cc -dM -E -`).
Alternatively you could check the output of `uname -o`.
Right now, both Solaris and Illumos import from `c/solaris.zig`. In the
future it may be worth putting the shared ABI bits in a base file, and
mixing that in with specific `c/solaris.zig`/`c/illumos.zig` files.

Detect system libcxx name with the CMake build system and convey that
information to build.zig via config.h so that the same system libcxx is
used for stage3.

closes#17018
The main motivation for this change is eliminating the `block_ptr`
result location and corresponding `store_to_block_ptr` ZIR instruction.
This is achieved through a simple pass over the AST before AstGen which
determines, for AST nodes which have a choice on whether to provide a
result location, which choice to make, based on whether the result
pointer is consumed non-trivially.
This eliminates so much logic from AstGen that we almost break even on
line count! AstGen no longer has to worry about instruction rewriting
based on whether or not a result location was consumed: it always knows
what to do ahead of time, which simplifies a *lot* of logic. This also
incidentally fixes a few random AstGen bugs related to result location
handling, leading to the changes in `test/` and `lib/std/`.
This opens the door to future RLS improvements by making them much
easier to implement correctly, and fixes many bugs. Most ZIR is made
more compact after this commit, mainly due to not having redundant
`store_to_block_ptr` instructions lying around, but also due to a few
bugs in the old system which are implicitly fixed here.
* Generalise NaN handling and make std.math.nan() give quiet NaNs
* Address uses of std.math.qnan_* and std.math.nan_* consts
* Comment out failing test due to issues with signalling NaN
* Fix issue in c_builtins.zig where we need qnan_u32
CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 will be removed from a future version of
CMake.
Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.
Apparently hard things:
* run autodoc on the std lib
* build the langref
If any zig distros want these documentation, they'll need to get them
from a stage3 `zig build` instead of stage2 (LLVM backend instead of C
backend).
